If you really want this platform to work, I would submit a patch that tests for a C compiler symbol or #define that is only defined for that platform and make service = null in that case.
I am not aware of such an animal. I looked at the output of " touch x.c && gcc -v -dM -E x.c" but didn't find anything when compared to AIX 6.1. We could set one in configure (like _AIXVER43) or use _AIX + uname().
How about checking for the failure case, where getaddrinfo returns EAI_NODATA on _AIX with a non-NULL servname. If that happens, call getaddrinfo again with a NULL servname.
